Step outside of your comfort zone and explore.

Completing a transcript-recognized certificate can support and enhance your major, provide an opportunity to explore something entirely different, and let you have a truly interdisciplinary college experience. These programs are offered in colleges across the university.

The BSA degree incorporates transcript-recognized certificates or minors into the 120 hours required for the degree. With careful planning, BA and BS students may earn transcript-recognized certificates that mostly fit into the hours required for their degrees. If you are completing the transcript-recognized certificate under the 2014-2016 catalog, upon completion of the requirements or in your graduating semester, you will need to contact the office awarding the certificate to have the certificate placed on your official university transcript.

* NOTE:  Requires formal admission or notification of intent to pursue certificate. Any student pursuing a transcripted certificate under the 2016-2018 or later catalog will be required to submit an application for admission. See the individual program website for requirements and application procedures.  You will receive a Secured Academic Note (SAN) if admitted to the certificate program.  After receiving the SAN, contact your advisor for further assistance. 

Certificate options listed below are available under the 2014-2016, 2016-2018 and 2018-2020 catalogs unless otherwise noted.  Please note that procedures and requirements may differ depending on the catalog.
